Timeline

1970

Ben Scott Jacobson (born December 16, 1970) is an American basketball coach.

1980

The 18 wins were the most for a first-year Panther head coach since the team joined the Division I ranks in 1980.

In addition, UNI posted wins over Iowa State and Iowa – sweeping the Cyclones and Hawkeyes in the same season for just the second time ever – including posting a win in Iowa City for the first time in program history.

1989

After his senior year he was named 1989's North Dakota Mr. Basketball.

Jacobson went on to play collegiately at the University of North Dakota from 1989 to 1993.

He was a four-year letterman for the Sioux, a two-year starter, and he ended his career as the school's all-time assist leader.

UND made two Division 2 Elite Eight appearances and four regional appearances, along with winning two conference championships, during his career.

1991

He was team captain in 1991–92 and 1992–93, was named to the NCC's All-Academic Team in 1993, and was a player representative to UND's letterwinner's association from 1991 to 1993.

2001

Before taking over as head coach, Jacobson was the Panthers' top assistant coach starting in 2001, and was a key cog in bringing the Panthers from the basement of the Missouri Valley Conference to the penthouse.

With Jacobson on staff, the development of UNI basketball has been remarkable.

2004

UNI has also advanced to the NCAA tournament seven times (2004, 2005, 2006, 2009, 2010, 2015, and 2016), including receiving two at-large bids.

2005

UNI also achieved its first-ever Division I top-25 ranking during the 2005–06 season.

2006

He is the head men's basketball coach at the University of Northern Iowa, a position he has held since 2006.

He served as an assistant at North Dakota, North Dakota State, and Northern Iowa before taking over as head coach at Northern Iowa in 2006.

Jacobson attended Mayville-Portland High School.

2007

In August 2007, UNI was chosen to be Team USA at the World University Games in Bangkok, Thailand.

Donning the Red, White and Blue, UNI went 5–1 in the tournament, losing only to eventual gold medalist Lithuania, while posting wins over Angola, Turkey, China, Finland and Israel.

Jacobson finished his first campaign at the helm of UNI with an 18–13 record.

2009

Jacobson's biggest coaching accomplishment was in 2009–10, when the Panthers made a run into the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA tournament highlighted by an upset of top national seed Kansas.

ESPN.com columnist Pat Forde called the Panthers' win "the biggest tourney upset in years," and called the clinching shot by Panthers guard Ali Farokhmanesh "the greatest early-round shot in NCAA tournament history."

2010

In March 2010, Jacobson signed a 10-year extension with UNI.

The contract guarantees the coach $450,000 a year with annual increases of $25,000 through the length of the contract.

In the 2010–11 season, Jacobson led the Panthers to their eighth consecutive 18-plus win season, third straight postseason bid and a Valley-leading third straight 20-plus win season.

Prior to that stretch of eight straight seasons, UNI had tallied only six 18-plus win seasons in the history of its program.

Jacobson also coached UNI as it became the first college program ever to represent the United States of America at an international basketball competition.
